Details:
I’m using 2 RAK7249 gateways. I sent IMMEDIATE message over MQTT to the gateway using the LoraServer3.X (Protobuf).
All was ok until I made an update of the firmware on one of my gateway. Since this update, the gateway doesn’t respond with Ack anymore.
I paste here the log that concerne the problem on R202 revision
The connection is reset after the donwlink command reception.
Note that the same downlink commande receives a Ack on R193.

Ok, thanks for the reply. I’ll continue my work with the previous firmware version.
Note that loraserver 3.x specified a “gateway/+/event/exec” which is the result of the execution of a given command.
It could be usefull to publish it too.

Hi:
I tried to send IMMEDIATE downlink message and TIMESTAMPED downlink message.Everything looks OK.
Can you share me your mqtt bridge configuration of gateway?

Configuration MQTT bridge
Packet forwarder conf
I use the ProtoBuf definition for the gateway messages from Chirpstack
I code in GoLang and use the standard Golang protoBuf Marshaller
The build-in loraserver is stopped

Why the MQTT Broker Address is localhost (127.0.0.1)? Did you use the MQTT Broker inside the gateway to communicate with Chripstack?

I use the following architecture :
Internal Gateway -> Internal MQTT broker -> External Application Connected as MQTT client
In this configuration, we have no internal or external LoraWan Server.
Our application catches the Lora Message from the gateway, stores messages and sent it later to another Main Gateway over Lora.
Note that , in order to enable the gateway to gateway communication, we use a small hack (as specified in pure Lora Layer), and the gateway sent the message with polarization inversion=false .

Interesting. So, the External Application sub / pub the MQTT Messages.
